Rollover Crashes

Louisville’s Knowledgeable Rollover Crash Lawyer

Rollover crashes are some of the most terrifying and deadly road accidents, second only to head-on collisions in the rate of death and catastrophic injury. In some cases the accident is caused by driver error, but in others it is caused by a faulty vehicle or component. If the accident was not your fault (or not all your fault), you are legally entitled to compensation.

We Know How Defendants and Insurance Companies Think

Gladstein Law Firm, PLLC founder Seth Gladstein has seen personal injury law from both sides of the courtroom and both sides of the negotiating table. He once represented personal injury defendants, but after six years of practice he switched sides and began representing only personal injury victims. He knows how the other side thinks, and he understands all their tricks.

Your Case Probably Won’t Go to Trial

Most rollover accident cases are resolved with an insurance company through a private settlement agreement. If the insurance company is stubborn, of course, it may be necessary to go to trial. Our trial record has been so successful, however, that insurance companies are growing increasingly reluctant to fac us in court. And that can work to your advantage.

In some cases it is necessary to file a lawsuit to pressure the other side into responding with a fair settlement offer. This doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily have to go to trial, however – claims can be settled any time before trial, and they usually are.

A Gladstein Client Speaks Out…

Caring Attorney

“Seth kept me informed as my case went along. He settled my case quickly compared to how long it normally takes. He really cares about his clients, even stopping at the hospital to visit me when I was in there. I would definitely recommend him.” – Ronda.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the main causes of rollover crashes?

Defective vehicle design – SUVs, for example, are rollover-prone due to their high center of gravity.

Because the at-fault party may be a vehicle component manufacturer or a government (for a defectively maintained road), even the driver in a one-vehicle rollover accident can sometimes collect damages.

What do I need to prove to win a product liability claim against the manufacturer of a defective vehicle component that caused the crash?

Under Kentucky product liability law, you need to prove that the vehicle component was (i) defective (ii) unreasonably dangerous, and (ii) caused your injuries. A “defect” could mean a manufacturing defect, a design defect or a “warning defect” (inadequate safety warnings).

Can I file a lawsuit if my loved one died in a rollover accident?

the estate recovers funeral and burial expenses, as well as expenses incurred to pursue the claim, and

close relatives recover compensation for emotional losses such as loss of guidance and companionship.

Damage awards in wrongful death lawsuits are typically high.

Can I sue the company that hired the driver who caused the accident?

It depends. A company is liable for the negligence of its employee, but not for the negligence of an independent contractor. The company may have itself acted negligently, however (through negligent hiring, for example). Uber drivers, for example, are considered independent contractors, and so are commercial truckers.
